here's 17 things I've learned for the 17 days I've been here ;))

  • walking 3 minutes to the nearest bathroom in the dark is tough 
  • "life with God is like a bucket shower, you're either all in or all out" 
  • pen pals can end up living close 
  • thin trees can hold a lot more enos than we think
  • world race coffee isn't the worst (1 cream, 1.5 sugas for me)
  • daddy long legs LOVE to be your roommates 
  • Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year where you eat apples & honey to celebrate and welcome a sweet year 
  • JB & Chance's new song "Holy" slaps 
  • the most broken people in the Bible partnered with God and the game changed. 
  • jeans that fit everyone are so fun to share!!! 
  • sleeping in a room with 30 other people can be just a bit stressful (but so sweet) 
  • "We have freedom to fail forward, we are becoming." 
  • you never realize how much you love your sister until facetime is the closest you feel to her 
  • we can have super close and intimate friendships while still setting boundaries
  • Georgia weather has a mind of its own 
  • "many times we have a desire for the 'good' outcome from the Lord, whereas we really just need to lay it all down to Him" (including the outcome)" 
  • going to the Father without an agenda can be the most freeing thing anyone could experience.

 

stay more stoked than Reed 

 

all my love,
